Actually, the last in the ten-book series based on Chief Inspector Erik Winter of Gothenberg, Sweden, was published in Sweden in 2008.

But the sixth book, “Sail of Stone,” has just been translated into English, published by Simon and Schuster.

I’ve liked reading the series because descriptions of Gothenberg delight the arm-chair traveler in me, and because I’ve enjoyed the development of Winter from one of “those arrogant dudes born in the ’60s,” as the author says, a disaster at relationships, into a husband and father juggling family and work.
